I wish they wouldn't label these videos with the appropriate "PS4" or "Xbox One" tag so that people have to guess at which version is which..
Better yet, they should reverse the labels only to reveal a week later that PS4 fanboys were hyping up Xbox One screenshots as looking "noticeably better" than the PS4 screenshots the entire time..
On the Xbox One, you can choose certain friends as "favorites".. and you can then set your console to only notify you when those select friends come online which totally eliminates the potential problem you were trying to illustrate.. or you can just simply disable friend notifications entirely if you want.. or you can choose to be notified when absolutely anyone on your friends list comes online.. it's totally up to you, it's really useful, and it's something that i...
Well, that sword cuts both ways sir..
Last gen when PS3 multiplats were lagging behind the 360 versions in terms of resolution and performance, Sony fanboys claimed that the differences were minimal and didn't matter since the gameplay was the same..
Last gen when the 360 was a "pure gaming machine" versus the "multimedia hub" of the PS3, Sony fanboys defended the idea of having extra features and functionality..
Last ...
@LameTamer
sure, through a Digital Foundry lense, earlier multiplats were looking better on PS4, but when normal people (i.e. not fanboys) look at Watch Dogs on my Xbox One and then look at Watch Dogs on their PS4, they don't see that "huge" difference of 792p vs 900p.. they just see two good looking games that look virtually identical to everyone not on these forums.. clearly, with more and more multiplatform games being announced at 1080p for both consoles, pe...
So the Xbox 360 was a better buy than the PS3 because during thru first couple of years multiplatform games ran better on 360?.. gotcha..
Meanwhile, back in the real world, as developers got more familiar with the PS3, mulitplats began to reach parity.. the same thing is happening with the Xbox One since a majority of the upcoming titles are announced as having the same resolution and framerates as the PS4 versions.. these tites include Destiny, The Crew, Alien: Isolation, ...
I guess you haven't seen Forza Horizon 2.. 1080p with dynamic lighting, weather, and complete open world..
The reality is that launch titles don't tend to show the true power of a console and it is becoming increasingly apparent that the Xbox One is way more capable than what was initially perceived..
I guess you're not buying Destiny either then since it is 1080p/30fps on both the PS4 and Xbox One.. :/
Ahhh, the go-to example of sniper elite 3 huh.. why not use a game like Wolfenstein that runs equally 1080p/60fps on both the PS4 and Xbox One without any performance issues on either console instead?.. oh, that's right, you're just trying to use a biased example to prove a biased point.. please continue ..
I wonder what the excuses will be when games like The Crew, Destiny, Alien: Isolation, Doom, and others (all announced as 1080p on both consoles) don't have...
Outstanding..
This simply means that selling your product for $100 less and for the same price as the competition is a good business strategy.. This has little bearing on the Kinect itself..
Last time I checked, people are still buying the PS4 Camera and people are excited for Project Morpheus.. are those two pieces of hardware bundled with the PS4? Nope.. Microsoft just has to justify the value of Kinect as a standalone add-on.. plain and simple..
Kinect 2.0 is an im...
whether or not the Xbox One "beats" the PS4 this month is irrelevant.. what really matters is that sales figures like these will put both consoles on a more even playing field instead of the PS4 having such a clear advantage.. i mean, obviously the $100 price difference was a huge factor and couple that with a very nice line-up of exclusive titles for this fall that cant be played on PS4 (Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Ori and the Blind Fores...
You don't have to use the "xbox unsnap" voice command if you don't want to.. Just press "B" from within the snapped app and the app will close.. It's literally just one button press to unsnap an app and to return the main app to full screen..
In fairness, is Driveclub open-world?.. If both games are open-world, then yea 30fps makes since.. I dont there has ever been an open world racer that runs at 60fps (Burnout Paradise maybe?).. But if Driveclub is a closed track racer, then obviously there's a direct comparison to be made with the 1080p/60fps closed track racer that is Forza Motorsport 5.. At that point, apples to apples, Forza 5 is 60fps vs 30fps on Driveclub..
Now before all the comments come in abou...
I totally agree, the voice integration is awesome.. The only people I've seen bash voice commands on Xbox One are people who've never actually used them in person, video game journalists who openly claim that they've never even plugged their Kinect 2.0 into their Xbox One in the first place, and people that try to pretend like voice commands absolutely have to work 100% of the time or they're useless (Siri, Google Now, Cortana, and any other major voice command service dont w...
Personal preference is personal preference, and I can respect that.. But that doesn't change the fact that having the ability to do split-screen multitasking is a great option.. And I stress the term "option".. Since when does having more options a bad thing?..
Beyond that, it's funny how being able to split screen multitask and have multiple apps running in the background is such an undesirable thing on the Xbox One yet nearly every PC gamer I know routi...
In addition to making video chat a more standardized feature that I can actually utilize while gaming, one of the coolest things about this is that it brings cross-platform messaging, voice chat, and video chat that much closer to a reality.. I have friends that play games on PC and now I can cross-game chat or cross-game video chat with them via the Xbox One while we both play.. sure, I could call them on the phone or set-up a laptop or tablet but having that functionality seamlessly built...
Keep the features coming, Microsoft.. Good work
Nice to have the options though.. And with the Xbox One giving you the option to only see when your "favorites" come online, I don't really see any downsides
Lol @ Sony fanboys trying to add Xbox Live fees to the equation..
Hey geniuses, the Titanfall bundle also includes a free month of Xbox Live.. It'll take less than a week to complete inFamous: Second Son so giving players a full month of Titanfall would still be more of a value then a week or two of inFamous's single player story..
and beyond that, many customers may be already Xbox Live subscribers.. Plus there's a Forza 5 bundle for the same pr...
Just proves two things:
1) 1080p upscaled from 900p native looks virtually identical to 1080p native under most normal circumstances..
2) fanboys are getting pretty bad if they think this game doesn't look basically the same on both consoles based on those screenshots.. "texture filtering" and other buzzwords meant to add fuel to the console wars are meaningless if the end results are that the games look nearly indistinguishable on both systems during n...
